This fake Apple app can unlock your Mac's password vault
A fake app pretending to be an Apple system tool is being used to steal saved passwords, browsing information, digital wallet details, and other private data from Mac computers. It can look trustworthy, which makes it easier for people to install it without realizing the risk.
Who is at risk
Mac users are most at risk, especially anyone who installs unfamiliar apps or is asked to enter their computer password for a program they did not expect.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected pop-ups, apps using Apple-like names such as CrashReporter, or any sudden request to enter your Mac password to open or install something.
What to do
Immediately remove any unfamiliar recently installed apps, change important passwords from a different trusted device, and run Apple’s built-in security and software updates on your Mac.
